    <h2>Logback Project</h2>

    <p>Logback is intended as a successor to the popular log4j
    project, <a href="reasonsToSwitch.html">picking up where log4j 1.x
    leaves off</a>. </p>
    
    <p>Logback's architecture is quite generic so as to apply
    under different circumstances. At present time, logback is divided
    into three modules, logback-core, logback-classic and
    logback-access.
    </p>

    <p>The logback-core module lays the groundwork for the other two
    modules. The logback-classic module can be assimilated to a
    significantly improved version of log4j 1.x. Moreover,
    logback-classic natively implements the <a
    href="http://www.slf4j.org">SLF4J API</a> so that you can readily
    switch back and forth between logback and other logging frameworks
    such as log4j 1.x or java.util.logging (JUL).
    </p>

    <p>The logback-access module integrates with Servlet containers,
    such as Tomcat and Jetty, to provide HTTP-access log
    functionality. Note that you could easily build your own module
    on top of logback-core.
    </p>

    <h3>Donations and support contracts</h3>

    <p>We welcome your donations to help the logback project. We also
      offer support contracts. Please contact sales(at)qos.ch for
